river bluffs

[gaming_mouse]

Villain was tight, maybe around a 1.5 aggro.

Waste of money on the river?

In general, how often, and in what spots, do you make river bluffs like this one?

i think your more likely to get a fold if you raise the flop here. I really dont see A high folding here.

Just out of interest, why didnt you raise this flop?

I don't like it...Villain knows that you could be betting a draw on the turn, or a draw that paired up, or a small pair, and enough of those either got counterfeited or didnt hit on the river for him to c/call here w/A high or even K high. I also probably raise this flop and hope to take it down with a turn bet if not 3-bet on the flop.

no real reason. sometimes i do, sometimes not. i was planning to raise the turn instead.
